I'm nihilistic, antagonistic, violent, horrible - but not obliterated, yet. I just refuse to be beaten down. I think it's stubborness that keeps me going.

I would be humiliated if I found out that anything I did actually became a commercial success.
- Being Mad
- |

I'm a very sympathetic person, but that doesn't always come across in my work because I'm too busy being mad at everything.

Think your own thoughts.
- Daily
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy, spending so much time trying to pay the rent, all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen.
- Just Because

- Know
- |

I'm a total pleasure seeker. I pursue anything that satisfies me. I usually get it. I have specific needs and I know what they are so I can achieve satisfaction.
- Beautiful
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The female format is a beautiful one in which to function. Foolhardy as it may be. I change my image all the time, it's whatever suits me at the moment.
- Brain
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just prefer instrumental. I don't need to hear what other people are singing. And if I need music as a backdrop to work or to think, I need to have that part of the brain clear - I don't need people feeding their fantasies into my vision.
- Love

Politics are always involved, even in my love songs.

People have always asked me, 'Haven't you wanted to sell out?', and it's like, who am I going to sell to?
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Honesty works against you in the entertainment field. I try to be a journalist and a documentarian, but that doesn't mean that people are going to embrace it at the moment. The point is I'm leaving the mark of my hysteria and the political hysteria, and that's it... I can only do what I do.
- Mysterious
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If someone says 'grunge' or 'punk,' you know what the sound is, but if you say 'No Wave,' it's kind of mysterious. That was the most interesting part and should have been the most inspirational thing about it... here's this collective sonic insanity, and none of it sounds anything alike.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To be in a band, at least according to the rules of rock in the 1970s, one must know how to play an instrument. But rather than waste time solving that problem, No Wavers ignored it. The point was simply to make music, not to learn how first.
- Lie
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You want positive, go elsewhere. Go find a different lie.
- Concept
- |

Part of what I have to represent is an alternative to this perverted fashion industry concept of what beauty is.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Living in Barcelona, I have my own little ghetto utopia. There are 3,000 ghost towns in Spain, and I've used the images of them a lot in my backdrops for my solo spoken-word stuff. The ghost towns could be from two buildings to 40 - things died out, or there were plagues, the roads don't lead there, whatever.
- Cancer
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Two of my favourite books are Henry Miller's 'Tropic of Cancer' and 'Tropic of Capricorn.'
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The problem with music was always that the sound system often obliterated the words, and words, not music, have always been what I was about.
- Emphasize
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If what I write is literature, I guess you'd better emphasize the 'litter.'
- Death
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The American way of life, as I see it, is really the American way of death. Everything is determined by greed and the insatiable desire to be the richest and most powerful. And that desire is limitless.
- Happiness
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I believe happiness is a chemical imbalance - it's a silly thing to strife for. But satisfaction - if you seek satisfaction, you can succeed. Satisfaction is knowing that you're doing the best that you can do; you're living your life to the fullest.
- Ale
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Aggressive female icons have been chronically demeaned... It's fine for male artists to be angry - they're encouraged to outwardly express their aggression - but women? I've been painted as an aggressive Feminazi because I'm blunt, stubborn, independent, forthright.
- Insult
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The biggest insult is that I've been called an exaggerator... I tell the truth as I know it. I don't glamorize the nightmare and horror that I witness; I just digest it and spew it back, with venom.
